+/-1 BR Matchmaking and other + a deal

this may sound like a rant, which was NOT and still isn’t my main goal, lets just call it “Player liking one game WAY too much.”

First things first, the new MatchMaking…

Don’t get me wrong, I love that they did it but if it was on me I’ll keep it like it is now (+/- 1BR) and the -1/+2 rule after waiting for at least 1 minute and make it avaiable to all nations, I feel like that would be fair.

About T26E1-1 Super Pershing
The other thing is we (or at least I) would want more detailed information about its development other than just “He is not ready yet”. Oh, and hi James! Also it would be nice if you released it outside of any major update since holding it back wouldn’t make any sense as its already HALF A YEAR in development, and you’ve already shown your ability of totally changing the game in the middle of a day (cough cough 3rd December 2023) and the M26 doesn’t hold up well against Tiger 2 and Ho-Ri production

And now about that deal…
And the deal is: You (DF devs) apparently have some kind of a problem calculating the effective armor thickness of the upper front plate and maybe turret. But I have a few solutions

1st- The Forum way - that’s where we, the players, come in. There is more than high possibility of there being enough of US mains that could and would like to help you with essentially developing and figuring out the armor formula of T26E1-1, all you have to do is ask your community for help, isn’t that one of the parts why was this forum created?

Now, there are 2 other ways out:
2nd - the “easy” way: “just” copy it from War Thunder files since the tanks are essentially the same since the armor doesn’t and can’t change between those games, that wouldn’t make any sense now, would it? The best part about this is the fact that you can count it as an overlapping armor which it technically is.

3rd - the “hard” way: Just keep it to youreselves and release it possibly next year after it was teased last December because you wanted to keep it to yourselves and covering it by saying whatever you want.

I just hope that some of the devs would read this and will think about it, that would be a win in my book. For now, see you in battles.

This is something we Hungarians call: “trusting the goat with the cabbage”. You obviously cant trust faction mains to develop their gear or any other factions gear.

Super pershing will release when its ready, Im sure Darkflow has good reason to hold it back.

I know, that’s one of the reasons why I wrote the other 2 ways, and also you can’t trust goat with anything, they are almost as efficient as industrial shredders.

While we are at that saying “You can’t trust goat with cabbage” that is true only when there is nobody to watch over it and stopping it before it does something stupid, and forum has those people, they have helpers and mods.

Even though Mods are mainly for watching over the forum and enforcing it’s rules when broken.

The Jumbo Pershing would probably be better than the Super Pershing.

Well the problem with that is that it’s just up-armored version of the classic M26 with the same “shorter” gun, one of the biggest reasons why I’d like to see T26E1-1 in game as soon as possible is its main gun, the long 90mm and it’s ammunition, both the T41 APCBC (224mm of pen at 10m on 0% angle) and the T44 APCR (336mm of pen at 10m on 0% angle)
